Picasso's 'Cut Paper' Exhibition

On view at the Hammer Museum in LA until December 31

Devoted to a little known yet foundational aspect of Pablo Picasso’s artistic practice, Picasso Cut Papers spans the artist's full career.

This exhibition spans the full career of Pablo Picasso, from his first cut papers made in 1890 at nine years of age, through the 1960s, with works he made while in his eighties. It features some of the artist’s most whimsical and intriguing works made on paper and in paper, alongside a select group of sculptures in sheet metal.

Although Picasso rarely sold or exhibited his cut papers during his lifetime, he signed, dated and archived them just as he did all his works. They were part of a more private studio practice, created as independent works of art or in relation to works in other mediums, but also as models for his fabricators and as gifts or games for family and friends. Many examples have been stored flat or disassembled in portfolios until now and will regain their original three-dimensional forms when presented in the exhibition.

Bird Scooter Community Mode


See an issue with a Bird scooter you would like to report? Bird makes it easy to report it: When the Bird app is opened, you’ll see a little triangle on the bottom left-hand side of your Bird app. Click this button, and you’ll find three different options: report a “Badly Parked Bird’’, “Damaged Bird,” and “Contact Bird.”

This is the most efficient way to report issues to the Bird Team, and you do not have to be a rider to use this feature; just download the app.
